***********
以諾是一位與上帝同行300年的人,而他與上帝同行是在生瑪土撒拉以後。雖然他得年歲比起當時其他的人還要短,但是「以諾與上帝同行,上帝將他取去,他就不在世了」!表示他是一位被提的人,是上帝所特別對待的人,雖然不在世,卻在上帝那裡到永遠,這是每一位被上帝所拯救的人之樣式,如同摩西、如同以利亞,甚至主耶穌的升天,也就如同被提的人,將來我們屬主的人也要被提!
說到被提不能不讀讀保羅的描述:「我們現在照主的話告訴你們一件事:我們這活著還存留到主降臨的人,斷不能在那已經睡了的人之先。因為主必親自從天降臨,有呼叫的聲音和天使長的聲音,又有上帝的號吹響;那在基督裡死了的人必先復活。以後我們這活著還存留的人必和他們一同被提到雲裡,在空中與主相遇。這樣,我們就要和主永遠同在。」(帖撒羅尼迦前4:15-17)
我們當存著這樣的盼望來面對生與死,我們雖然有一天要離開這世界,不是進入永無止境的痛苦中,而是要和主永遠同在,這是美得無比的事,也是我們相信苦難之後必有福樂的盼望,讓我們勇敢向前行,如同以諾與上帝同行300年!
